Hello! I went in for one thing in Michael’s today and did not carry a basket because I went in for one thing. You know what happened…new products happened…pretty products happened and if that wasn’t enough they were on sale for 40% off!! My defenses were no match for this foe and so I caved.
Meet the new Color Splash line by Recollections:
Who could resist these watercolor crayons? And I thought I would give their new ombre pads a shot since they were half the price of the Hero Arts.
Next was this super cute 6×6 pad of paper with resist designs already on them so all you have to do is use the watercolor with them to make them pop! I would have grabbed two but I had enough in my hands. Then this really cute stamp set I intend on using on my cards (great sentiments) and in my planner. The come with a cute stencil of trees.
I can totally see me using this stencil.
The next new product line by Recollections is called Boho/Bohemien:
Another cute 6×6 pad with the most amazing vibrant colors with dabbles of gold foil accents. What girl could resist?
And the other pad had laser cut patterns that would be great on a card.
Oh so pretty. I will be testing out the watercolor crayons tomorrow and the ombre ink pads. I will share my thoughts in case you are on the fence.
Happy crafting!

Last week, I was in the store with Leao and the boys and I came across this kettle. I immediately was drawn to the color and design. I walked over and picked it up and Leao came over and said, “Let me buy it for you.” I immediately said no. So off we went. A few days later I kept thinking about it but didn’t go back.
I snagged this cute pillow at Target to put on my reading nook chair. It’s perfect for Valentine’s day but I think I will keep it for a while because if goes really nice with my chair.
Yes that is a sign of a booklover – a pile of books hanging out. They make me happy even though they should be on a shelf.
Each year, as many of you know, I go away with my crafty girlfriends for four days of fun. It is usually up in Jackson, New Hampshire at the prettiest Inn. But this year, I have a scheduling conflict and will be in New Jersey at my best friend’s wedding. So I quickly reached out to my friend Ashley and we decided to room together for the annual event that takes place in Sturbridge, MA. Six of us met at the hotel and had so much fun.
We ate two times at the most delicious restaurant and then the rest of the meals were included with our craft retreat.
It was a fun weekend. Just what the doctor’s order for all moms!! I say moms but you don’t need to be a mom to benefit from a retreat with friends, you just have to have the courage to make the reservation! I will be back this week with some other fun posts so stop on by!
